Moving from SCCM2007 - 2012

[neonetman]

Good morning all,

 

I'm starting to look at a migration from SCCM2007 on Windows Server 2008, moving to SCCM 2012 on Server 2016

 

Has anyone already done this, and if so how easy was the process - are there any pitfalls I need to consider?

I moved from SCCM 2012 on 2k8r2 to SCCM CB on 2016.

 

I would upgrade SCCM on the 2k8 box as far as you can (2012 R2 v1607 IIRC) then either do a site migration or a site backup and restore to the new VM.

Firstly you want to upgrade to SCCM Current Branch not 2012

 

You can actually perform a migration directly from 2007 to CB: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/migration/migrate-data-between-hierarchies

 

However (and I don't know the complexity of your environment) if I were going from 2007 -> CB I would seriously consider starting again. Migrating from 2008 R2 -> CB caused me no end of headaches and I wouldn't want to go through so many steps, troubleshooting each one.
